An intimate portrait of women in Brazilian athletics that follows a relay team’s comeback story as they set out to bring home the gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
The women’s athletics’ 4x100m relay team is about to win a gold medal at the 2016 Olympic Games. The Brazilian victory is almost certain, if only one fatal error hadn’t put off their dreams: the carelessness of the young Maria Lúcia dropping the baton results in the disqualification of the group. Four years later, five athletes are called to join the team in pursuit of a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics. This time, they will have to rediscover their true power as a team, proving that the Brazilian women’s athletics is still stronger than ever.
